Valentines Day

Valentines Day this year was super low key, we woke up and had breakfast then headed upstairs to let Charlotte play and open her gifts. Kyle got Charlotte her very own jewelry box that she can decorate and a cute book called, I Love You Beary Much. He did such a good job picking out her gifts... he said since she loves to go through my jewelry he wanted to get her one and since we call her boo bear he got her a book with a bear. If that doesn't melt your heart then I don't know what would. I picked up a cute felt envelope that we can use year to year and a Sophia coloring book. She felt pretty special as she should. :)

So happy about her Sophia coloring book!

Later that afternoon we headed to Hendersonville Produce for the Farm Fest.... it was a packed house and a huge success! Charlotte got her picture taken by the owner of Juice Nashville and they posted it on their instagram. :) She loves JUICE!

That evening Kyle and I attended one of my girlfriends wedding. It was a lovely night celebrating our friends and having fun with lots of other couples. :) 

Thankful for these lasting friendships I've made over the years. 

My Valentine for 10 years now. :) Our love grows stronger each and every year.... so thankful for what he means to me! 

Girls Only...

For Valentines Day I wanted to throw a small party for Charlotte and a few of her little girlfriends. We decorated the night before and started getting the food ready, I could tell Charlotte knew something fun was going to happen. The next morning she got all dolled up in one of her new birthday outfits, she felt so pretty and even showed the girls her skirt when they walked in... so sweet! One of the families could not make it, but we made the best of our morning and Charlotte had a blast getting some play time in.

Ready for the party!

Charlotte picked these Sophia crowns out for her party. 

Little cutie!

Those cheeks! 

Getting her craft on.

Sweeties.

The crafts turned out really cute!

The kids had heart shaped pepperonis, veggie chips, string cheese, strawberries, and grapes. Oh and they also had yogurt and fruit snacks. :) 

Valentines Day

What a difference a year makes! 

This is our second Valentines day with our girl and we decided to make a homemade meal and stay in this year. Charlotte and I stayed home all day to make cards for the family and cook since our meal was going to take 3-4 hours.

Ever since seeing the movie Julia & Julia, years ago, I have been wanting to make beef bourguignon and valentines seemed like the perfect opportunity! We checked out her cook book at the local library so we could have the exact recipe and went shopping for all our ingredients.

Daddy is good to us! Flowers and lots of goodies!

Nina came by for a visit!

This is how I was able to do most of my cooking. :) 

Dinner is served.... it was delicious!

Little Charlotte "eating" her meal.... aka smearing it everywhere and playing with her fork.

Play time with Daddy!

After our meal we had dessert, Charlotte opened her gift from us, and then Kyle and I watched our favorite show on Netflix while Charlotte slept. We had such a fun evening at home eating on our beautiful pink china by candlelight. :)

Paleo cake like brownies, Jenis milkiest chocolate in the world ice cream, and strawberries. 

Opening your gift! New bath toys, a book, big girl bib, and outfit! (And I didn't have to pay for one thing... used your birthday gift card!)
